Summary
The Green Party stumbled over a big number in their tax plan—accidentally claiming $826 million more in revenue than they actually projected. The error? They misclassified funds set aside for Inland Revenue as income instead of an expense. Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick called it a simple typo, not a scam. The funds were meant to cover implementation costs over several years: $100M in 2027-2028, $102M in 2028-2029, $104M in 2029-2030, and $106M in 2030-2031. They’ve since corrected the document and own up to the mistake—no hidden agenda, just a math mishap. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
